BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 1 G, 1912.

Application filed July 18, 1911. Serial No. 639,103.

To all whom it may concern:

new and useful Improvements in Burners,

of which the following is a specification,

, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

T his lnvention relates to water heat rs of the type which are connected with a boiler,

and the principal object of the same is to so I the cover 20.

conical bottom 12 of the boiler.

construct the burner which is used with this heater that it may be readily taken apart for cleaning, and to so, form the parts of the burner that water dropping from the heating chamber will bev caught by the upper plates of the burner and prevented from entering the gas chamber.

This invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings wherein v Figure 1 is a longitudinal section through a boiler provided with the improved heating means. Fig. 2 is a vertical section along the line 2-2 of F1 1. F1 3 1s a to lan view of the burner. Fig. at is an end viewof the mixing chamber, and Fig. 5 is a top plan view of the yoke which supports the burner.

Referring to the accompanying drawings by numerals it will be seen that the heating attachment is connected with the boiler which is provided with a central passage way 11 which forms an extension of the The bottom 12 is provided with a flange 13 which is secured to the lower portion of the boiler and the space within the conical bottom forms a chamber for a heating drum 14: which is provided with a central opening formed in its upper end and with a pluralitv of passage ways 15 surrounding the central opening. A pipe 16 extendsfrom the opening in the upper end of the heating drum through the passage 1]. and is connected at its upper end with a pipe 17 by means of the joint 18. A return pipe 19 leads from the pipe 17 back into the boiler 10 through A. cold water inlet 21 enters the boiler through the cover and terminates at a point adjacent the upper end of the bottom 12. A pipe 22 leads from the 1. lower portion of the boiler and a pipe 23 leading from the heating drum 14 is conrected with the pipe 22 by means of a pipe through the pipes 22, 24, and 23 into the heating drum. From an inspection of Fig. 1 it will be seen that the heating drum is supported beneath the bottom 12 by means of the pipes 16 and 23, and it will also be seen that the boileris mounted upon a base 25 which isprovided with arms 26 supportrests.

- iii-tapered tube 28 having an upwardly curved end 29 is supported beneaththe heat ving drum 1st by means'of a yoke 30.- The yoke 30 is provided with upturned ends 31 by means of which it is connected with a lower portion of the boiler and is provided intermediate its length by a recess 32 having a curved rear wall 33. The upper end of the curved portion 29 of the tube 28 is provided with a flange 3-1 so that the tube may be passed into the recess 32 and be supported upon the yoke by means of the flange 34. The outer end of the tube 28 is provided with a central opening 35 and the side openings 36 so that a gas pipe 37 may enter the tube 28 through the opening 35 and the required air will be supplied through theopenings 36; A pilot light 38 is connected with the flame from the pipe 38 will pass through an opening 39.

A substantially funnel shaped piece 40 is mounted upon the upper end of the tube 28 with its lower end resting upon the flange 34 and a frusto-conical plate 41 having a central cylindrical sleeve 42 is mounted upon the piece 40 and is held in spaced relation thereto by meansof the lugs 43. It should be noticed that the piece 40 is provided with a beveled edge. at and that the outer portion of the plate -11 is bent at an angle to the major portion of the plate 41 and overlaps the upper edge of the piece 10. A cup shaped piece 46 is mounted within the sleeve 42 and is provided with a flared upper portion 17 which overlaps the upper end of the sleeve 12. The lugs 48 are mounted upon the under face of the outer portion 47 and rest upon the beveled upper edge of the sleeve 12 and thus hold the piece 46 in spaced relation to the sleeve 42 with the flared outer portion J overhanging the edge of the sleeve.

In using this device the gas is supplied through the pipe 37 into the tube 28 where it is mixed with air and passes through the so that water from the boiler can pass curved upper end 2!) and out through the 1 spaces between the piece 40 and the outer ing a flanged rim 2? upon which the boiler the gas supply pipe and is positioned so that portion 45 of the plate 41 andthrough the:

- space between the upper edge of the sleeve 42 and the flared outer portion 47 I of the piece46. The products of combustion pass through the passages and around the heating drum 14 through the space between i I the heating drum and the bottom of the boiler through the passageway 11, thus thoroughly heating the heating drum and also heating the bottom of the boiler and the walls of the passage 11 Its houldbe noted that by having the bottom of the boiler conical and the heting drum positioned adjacent the upper end of the bottom that the heating drum and burner are surrounded by jwater in the boiler and, therefore, all

i the heat caused by the burner acts upon the water in the heating drum, pipe, .16 and in the boiler 10. Byhaving the outer portions of the plate 41 and piece 46 extend over the edgesvof the piece44 and sleeve 42 any wa-' ter which gathers upon the lower face of the heating drum is prevented from dropping upon theburnerand getting into the pipe 28 .as any 'water which d'rops is. caugl1t upon the plate 41 or within the shaped piece 46 Where it remains 'until it is heated by the gasand evaporates.

What I claim is 1; A burner of' the character described,

H comprising a mixing chamber, a funnel shaped member supported on said mixing chamber having its largest diameter uppermost and having an opening therethrough,

a flatter funnel-shaped member resting upon the first funnel shaped member and having lugs to space its outer-edge ashort distance a mixing chamber, a funnel shaped membersupported onsaid mixing chamber with its largest diameter uppermost, a second shallower funnel shaped member supported upon the first funnel shaped member and having a cylindrical walled opening through its center, and a cup shaped member havinga flaring edge supported'on' said cylindrical walls with its edges beyond said cylindrical walls, substantially as described. In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
